  • For reasons I will never understand, this episode has been impossible to find. It's not a lost show-- Ed Wood aficionados have apparently been passing this episode around for years-- but all I've been able to get my grubby little hands on is this incomplete copy in horrific video quality. I'm still grateful to have it, though-- prior to this, all that was available from this show was a 3 minute clip. At least we get to see (sort of) the full Tor Johnson segment here, including the quiz!
    If anyone has a complete and/or better quality copy of this one, please let me know!
    COUPLE #1: Gail Van Der Most / Mike Dini [NOT INCLUDED]
    COUPLE #2: Tor Johnson / Stassa Damascus

    Amazing to see. Always loved this show, and Groucho, but never saw this bit. Tor was adorable here.

    Okay, just take a look at the quality of this video - can barely make out what's going on. But I sat here and watched it for 14:21 minutes, because it's SO DARN GOOD!!! Groucho is always so funny. Thanks so much for posting this and all your other videos. You've kept me busy for about a week, and I still have many more to go!

    Tor mentions his Ed Wood film "Revenge of the Dead" (AKA "Night of the Ghouls") which wasn't given a release until the 1980s. Seems Ed couldn't afford the lab processing fees.

      Groucho said to Tor "Romance of the Dead? What was it a comedy, huh?" - Groucho was ahead of the curve!

      Dave Showler there is a better one hiding on RUclips somewhere. It is just a bit better quality and has the interview.

    Gotta love Tor! I can’t believe people thought that he really got mad at Groucho. He was a good sport and played along. This longer version of the clip shows that he had a good time on the show.

    I see comments about the quality of the video. Back in the 1950s a lot of our TVs didn't have much better reception.

    Groucho: "5"2' and 190 pounds? That would be 5".2" in any direction." (Said to Tor Johnson after describing his wife.)

    Tor came close to wrestling Groucho.

    How ironic, Tor's son was a detective just like Tor was in Plan 9 From Outer Space! Tor couldn't bet his life because he was a ghoul.

    Ignoring Groucho being a royal ass, it was interesting to learn more about Tor Johson.

    What is his preoccupation with marriage?

    • @eeddieedwards3890
      @eeddieedwards3890 2 месяца назад

      Groucho was asked by an attractive female reporter what he thought about marriage and he replied "It's a great idea if you ask me".

    Poor audio quality makes the video unwatchable.
